Those blue-green eyes that I've memorized in every shade of light, in every expression, in my dreams and my waking thoughts-they're focused on my face. Seeing me. Knowing I'm here. The moment lasts maybe two seconds. Maybe less. Could be my imagination. Could be that she's just scanning the crowd and her gaze happened to pass over my corner. But for those two seconds, the world stops. There's no music. No crowd. No stage. No club. Just her eyes and mine. Just recognition. Just... connection. Then she looks away. Continues her routine. The moment is over. But my hands are shaking. My whole body is shaking. Did she see me? Really see me? Or did she just see another man in a dark corner, another customer?

"Tell me, Gianna," he says her name like a caress and a threat combined. "Were you disappointed?" He steps closer. Invasive. Possessive. "That I wasn't fighting? That you didn't get to see the Devil play?" His hand leaves her hair to trace her jawline-that same touch from before, the one that made her breath catch. "Because I don't fight for entertainment," he breathes, thumb brushing the corner of her mouth. "I fight when something is worth fighting for. When something is worth taking." His eyes burn into hers. "And I'm trying to decide, kotyonok..." The hand on her jaw tightens just slightly. "Are you worth the war I'd start to keep you?" They say the devil doesn't come with horns. He comes with power, legacy, and a smile that promises ruin. At Halgrave University, last names are weapons and secrets are currency. This is a world built for monsters-heirs raised on violence, dominance, and control. And at the center of it all stands Nikolai Vetrova-cold, untouchable, and feared even by those born into darkness. He was never meant to notice her. She was never meant to survive him. What begins as hostility turns into obsession. What feels like hate bleeds into desire. And the closer she gets, the more she realizes-loving him isn't dangerous. Surviving him is. Because some men don't fall in love. They claim. They ruin. And once the devil touches you, he never lets go. He is the Future Pakhan of the Bratva While she is the Cosa Nostra Princess.
